Share a link to Bing maps, so that the map directly opens in Bird’s Eye View

bing-maps

When I share a link to Bing maps, the map always opens in "standard mode". I want it to default or go directly to the Bird's Eye View mode.

What I want to do is this:

  1. Open Bing maps
  2. Switch to Bird's Eye View, zoom in, and rotate the view
  3. Share a link to that, with the exact settings that I made.

So when someone opens my link, it should directly open in Bird's Eye View, zoom in exactly like I did, and so on.

Is it possible to share a link like this?

Add style=o to the end of the url. You must also specify a scene parameter also. I find it easier to get what I want on the screen, then click the envelope in the lower left hand corner that is used to share the URL.
